Postcard with an image of a sculpture

A black and white postcard with a photo of Paul Manship's sculpture "Dancer and Gazelles". Manship was an American sculptor who began his career in the late 19th century. He created works on mythological themes in a classical style and was active in the Art Deco movement. His most famous sculpture is "Prometheus" in the Rockefeller Centre in New York. The photograph of the sculpture is located at the top of the postcard, about halfway up, leaving a blank space. On the back, there is a space for the content of the letter ("CORRESPONDENCE"), the recipient's address ("ADDRESS"), a stamp ("PLACE STAMP HERE") and the text: "POSTCARD". All fields are marked with small caps. There are many scratches, abrasions and folds on the postcard. UCO
